here is CARBONGT86 's car. Not sure if I like that nub.

Well to me this this is a Toyota. Yes its built and powered by Subaru but who cares. It's heritage is an 86. So I will purchase it and then rebadge the first day I get it. "Scion GT86" just doesn't do it for me...:P Now to find inexpensive badges..lol

Scion around here is rare and considered "exotic" by the general public (not talking about "car guys").

This is so true, scion to me before i bought this car was awe inspiring and a fire blazing emblem looked exotic

I actually used to think Subaru was an Australian company.

Someone still thought my BRZ was a FR-S with Subaru badges on. Guess the dude had no idea BRZs exist.

Does adding the tS "STI" badge count?

Can't believe it took this long for someone to bring up the Toyota 86 heritage as their reason. Makes me wonder how many people are just swapping to Toyota badges under peer pressure...

DaJo · 02-27-2015, 04:12 AM

On the topic of badges, why do people on here get the "GT86" badge? I mean unless you are going for the European market look, then fine...

I bet most don't even know that GT86 only exist in Europe...

In the Japanese Domestic Market, it's just simply called "Toyota 86" (Pronounced eight-six, not eighty-six)

The chrome toyota badge looks way better. Plus what's the point of having the 86 on the side of the car if it's a scion?
